Italy vs Poland Prediction & Betting tips
The newly formed UEFA Nations League enters the first round. In different stages, countries of different strengths are to duel in several groups. In this article we analyze the first match of Group 3 of the League A. On Friday evening at 20:45 clock Italy welcomes at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna Poland. After the Italians did not qualify for the World Cup, things have changed a lot in the south of Europe. The experienced Roberto Mancini now coaches the Squadra Azzurra. The Poles, however, traveled to Russia in the summer, but disappointed in the group H. Only in the last group game succeeded the Europeans the first victory against Japan. Due to the defeats against Senegal and Colombia, Poland placed in the bottom of the table. Especially the superstar Robert Lewandowski stayed well below his expectations. Italy and Poland have not met for seven years.
Italy:
What a shin, when the Italian football nation did not qualify for the finals in Russia. In the playoff duel against Sweden, the Italians did not convince at all and conceded in the first leg, a 1-0 defeat. As too little of the Squadra Azzurra came in the second leg, the sky blue jerseys were not seen in Russia. Unforgettable also the tears of goalkeeper legend Gianluigi Buffon at the interview directly after the disgrace. Since then much has changed! Roberto Mancini took over the injured team and formed a team with more enthusiasm. The Italians are once again behind their national team. Under the leadership of Mancini Mario Balotelli returned after four years back to the Squadra Azzurra. In addition to him, Federico Bernardeschi of Juventus Turin and Serie A Topscorer Ciro Immobile will provide offensive power. The goal will be a new Gianluigi. Donnarumma was not born yet when Buffon matured into the world goalkeeper. The goalkeeper of AC Milan is only 19 years old and a great hope for Italian football. It’s no surprise that Italy are betting against betting odds of up to 1.75 against Poland.
For Italy, the second round of the Nations League is also scheduled for Monday. They meet abroad on Portugal, which must give up the absent Cristiano Ronaldo.
Poland:
Although Poland qualified for the finals in Russia, it was not a great summer for the Europeans. In Group H, Colombia, Japan and Senegal faced three strong countries. Above all, Robert Lewandowski was demanded by the Poles – the striker of Bayern Munich was to realize his goals in the knockout stages of the 2018 World Cup. But everything turned out differently! Lewandowski was practically invisible in all three group matches and disappointed all along the line. Not a single hit cheered the striker. The last place was the logical consequence for Poland, because they won only the last game against Japan, the Japanese, in turn, almost refused to work.
In the League of Nations Lewandowski should urgently find their usual form. At his club, the tall player meets at will and even in the jersey of the national team succeed him actually many goals. In qualifying for the World Cup he was with sixteen goals the best scorer on the European continent. Even in the duel between Italy and Poland bets on at least one goal of Poland are promising in view of the betting base; Therefore, a tip that both teams meet, thoroughly recommended.
